Has excellent offensive instincts, shiftiness and the versatility to play either center or wing. Possesses great hands and has a dangerous shot. Is much stronger than his size suggests.

Flaws:

Size will always come into question nonetheless, especially at the highest level, since 5-8 is small even by NHL standards in the past. Will need to keep the intensity level on high at all times.

Career Potential:

Diminutive depth scoring forward with a little upside.

Vancouver Sun

Impact

He got tangled up in front of the Pittsburgh net and limped to the dressing room. Schroeder has played in just three games since he returned to the lineup from a fracture in his left foot, so that isn't a good sign. A timetable for his recovery won't be known until he's re-evaluated.

News

Jordan Schroeder suffered a foot or ankle injury Saturday in the second period and did not return.

Calgary Herald

Impact

Schroeder suffered the injury blocking a shot from the Oilers Nail Yakupov which must give Vancouver coach John Tortorella mixed feelings as he wants the Canucks to block more shots but not at the expense of an injury. Schroeder had three goals and nine points in 31 games last season. Look for 12-15 goals and 30-35 points in 2013-14 and draft him only in the deepest of leagues.

Jordan Schroeder says he'll be ready for camp | 07/27/2013 11:26 AM

News

Center Jordan Schroeder is confident he'll be ready for training camp so he can show the Canucks he deserves the one-way contract that was announced on Wednesday.

Vancouver Province

Impact

Vowing to be recovered from May 21 shoulder labrum surgery by mid-September training camp, the 5-foot-8, 175-pound center was pumped after getting the deal - for one year and $600,000 - out of the way. He was also just as upbeat over his recuperation from the major surgery to his left shoulder. "They told me all along I should be ready for camp," said Schroeder, the Canucks first-round draft pick (22nd overall) in 2009. "My physiotherapist says I'm way ahead of schedule. I'm skating again, though I haven't been doing any shooting yet." The key now for Schroeder is to show he belongs in the Canucks' bottom six forwards, with the top six pretty much determined. Free agent Brad Richardson was signed with the intention of centering the third line, so versatility will be an important trait for Schroeder to show. "I'll play anywhere they want me to play," said Schroeder, 22, who had three goals and nine points in 31 games with the Canucks as a rookie in 2013.

Schroeder, 22, is a restricted free agent coming off his entry-level contract. He had nine points in 31 NHL games last year and 33 in 42 AHL games. He's expected to compete for the third-line center job next season. "We really haven't had discussions except that they want Jordan, and that he is going to play for them, Schroeder's agent Neil Sheehy said. "Everything has been positive so far. We really haven't got into contract talks ... there was work I had to do, work they had to do. It's not that it's a back-burner issue, but it's one that could wait a few days and now I think we'll be talking soon. My guess is we'll try and hammer something out the next few days."

"I've got a workout plan set up for the summer that will enable me to be on track and ready for camp, he said. "I'm going to get back at it (off-ice training) in a couple of weeks. Obviously, I can't do some of the upper-body stuff, but I'll be able to get the legs going." However, it's still yet to be determined when he will be able to resume skating. The team's younger players are expected to get longer looks at camp next fall, so Schroeder hopes to be able to take advantage of the opportunity.

Impact

Schroeder was the odd man out once the Canucks acquired center Derek Roy. The 22nd overall pick in 2009 was benched by coach Alain Vigneault during Thursday's game against the Avs and appears to have fallen out of favor for the time being. Owners can move on from him in most formats.

Center Jordan Schroeder, who got benched by Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault Thursday against Colorado, will be back centring the team's second line when the Canucks visit the Oilers in Edmonton today.

Vancouver Province

Impact

"He's a guy who thrives when he has confidence," Vancouver forward Jannik Hansen said of Schroeder. "With the type of player he is, everyone is expecting him to be putting up points, but he has to be put in those situations. If he's not, he's not taking the chances and looking to do the same kind of plays. It comes with experience and confidence. You feel more comfortable around the guys and you're more susceptible to trying plays he can do. Just look at the long stretch pass he had in L.A. You probably wouldn't have seen that in the first couple of games. Those types of players have to play that way if they want to play here."

Thanks to his excellent play, the Canucks may have to find room for Jordan Schroeder on their roster all year long.

Vancouver Province

Impact

The eventual returns of Ryan Kesler and David Booth once figured to push Schroeder down the lineup or even off the roster, but his strong performance is forcing the Canucks to re-evaluate that position. The highly-regarded prospect scored the first two goals of his NHL career in a win over the Flames on Saturday and his role with the club continues to increase. He's a great keeper-league selection, but unlikely to contribute in redraft formats.

This is a common ailment with the short training camp and condensed season.

He skated between Mason Raymond and Dale Weise at practice on Tuesday on the team's third line. Schroeder has been unable to establish himself in the AHL, so how he performs in the NHL is anyone's guess.

Schroeder, the 22nd overall pick in 2009, has nine goals and 19 points in 30 games for the Wolves this season. He returns to the Canucks after being not making the team out of training camp. Schroeder has top-six potential, but he'll need consistent ice time, which he could get as long as Ryan Kesler (shoulder/wrist) is sidelined.
